Working with custom drawings

[BarbourSmith]

I have an issue about how to work with custom drawings correctly. I am playing with modeling parts which interact with corrugated roofing and I've been largely having good success. But sometimes my booleans fail when interacting with my custom drawn part like this:

Here is an example where I am able to make my corrugated shape, but it fails to cut with Kernel error 417216040 when I try to cut the shape from a cube. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

This is definitely weird and unexpected - looks like a kernel bug.

I found a way to work around it - not sure it will help you. If you do the boolean in 2D and then extrude you might get what you want.

I noticed that as well and I was able to work around it, I just thought I would bring it up in case there was a pattern or an easy fix 😁
